I guess u talking about Ibrahimovic but he quit national team months ago
But yeah sweden playing good at least
Sure Sweden have some players that need to step up the game abit, and scorers that needs to score, but they have currently gone further now than they ever did with Ibrahimovic on the team. Not saying that he is bad (injured alot though) but his playstyle didn't fit in with the rest of the team. The others couldn't do what he needed.
Also when it comes to him quitting the national team he did, but after the qualifiers which he didn't want to play and the team qualified. Then all of a sudden he wanted to be on the team again, the reason why he isn't is because the coach didn't want him on the team after that.
The Sweden game will require patience as they are very well organised in defence and won't gift us penalties through indiscipline at set pieces.
I ended last night more annoyed at the US referee than any Colombian player. Why the hell did he let the Colombian players complain for so long and with such intimidating body language? He just makes every other referee's job harder when he fails to punish such behaviour.
I mostly hated the South American fans in the stadium! Such a disgrace, whistling out loud each time England had the ball. Absolutely no respect... And not speaking about the Colombian players that's even worse!
Glad England won, Colombia did not deserve to win :) and on selfish reasons that means I will be getting drunk saturday afternoon in front of the next match haha

Probably didn't want his family kidnapped and murdered by the Colombian cartel.
They're delusional. The Colombian papers this morning are full of articles saying stuff like "Mark Geiger robbed Colombia of glory/It was a theft/Mark Geiger hates Colombia". This is after he gave them a free pass on 3 red cards and a second pen.

I wasn't planning on going for a run today. But those cops came out of nowhere.
Probably my favourite game so far was Japan vs Belgium, catching the Belgies with their pants down to go 2-0 up. So gutted for them that they didn't go further, they've always played fairly and stick to their plan.
After the game, the Japanese fans went around the stadium to tidy up rubbish, and the Japanese players left a note in their changing rooms saying "thank you" in Russian.
Yeah, that game was crazy! As a half brazilian, half english man, I gotta say, I'm cheering so badly for England! Brazil unfortunately is more worried to win an Academy Award than anything else...Yes Neymar, I'm talking about you. Which takes away completely my will to cheer for them :(
Never seen such a violent game before. Was expecting at least one red card before the end. But I got to say that I'm relieved no one got hurt, and the game cooled off towards the end.
Those penalties...As soon as England lost the kick I was so sad!!! And then....the magic happened!
Colombia did their best and they also deserved to go through for that, but unfortunately, being as violent as they were, I'm glad we had a different outcome! I'm there to watch football ffs, not UFC haha.

And this is why I love the Japanese culture man. Such great and respectful people! Was really heart broken they didn't get through. But what a game that was!
I didn't mean to disrespect, just meant that we've had a rough game against Denmark after a great showing in the groups - and at the right time to get the euphoria in check, and take the game against Russia, and all possible other games, seriously.
But, I don't think it's wrong to say Croatia has a better team than Russia, and I hope we'll show it on the pitch.
I don't think we've ever played vs England in the World Cup, so that's a game I'll be looking forward to the most (if Russia or Sweden don't cause another upset :P).
I'm not offended, I'm not even Russian :)
I agree that Croatia are the natural favourites in their quarter final, especially since, as far as I'm aware, the President of the Croatian FA did not fire their manager days before the World Cup in a fit of petulance; but they shouldn't underestimate Russia, who should be helped by the home crowd — and maybe some home refereeing, too — and have demonstrated that they can park the bus pretty well when they want to.
England is the most overrated team on WC. Finals will be France - Croatia and France will win. End of the story.
Overrated by who? More overrated than Germany, Spain or Portugal? I'm detecting some bias here mate.
I 'm English and trust me, every tournament we get into our press hypes them up beyond belief. Southgate has given the team something we've not seen for a long time, a dose of reality. I'm guessing that you're a Croatian fan and if so be proud as they're a good team. They sorta cancelled out their great Brazil game with a bad performance against Denmark.

Literally, the one year we're completely underrated, lel. No one expected these guys to get anywhere, myself included. British journalists said, before the tournament, that this was the weakest team England had ever sent out to a WC. In the US, in articles about "teams to back" (since they couldn't even qualify) placed England in the "Absolutely no hope of progressing" category. Youngest squad. Least caps. Now progressing further than our famous "Golden Generation".
All the overrated teams are out of the tournament, and quite rightly so. Don't confuse national enthusiasm with an overestimation of the squad's skill level. We know they're already punching, even though there could have been sterner tests. They haven't bottled it, which can't be said for most of the big boys so far, and that's what we're loving.

Onwards and upwards! Looking forward to the Croatia game now, they didn't really show teeth against a knackered Russian side, and have now gone twice 120 minutes in a row. Doable if we can shut down Modric and Rakitic. Can't wait til Wednesday!

All I can say, it's chaotic in Croatia eight now...we didn't play all that well but it seems we have some reserves still in the tank...and the celebrations were oh my god, so many happy dru k people in the streets, it really brings back memories to 98, even though I was just a kid and don't remember much...I think England is gonna be a more suitable opponent for us, you're gonna try and play your game and there's gonna be more opportunities for us than against denmark or russia...let the better team win ;)

It's called football. Because, you know, it's a game with a ball that you kick with your foot.

Croatia will tear Russia apart
English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.

Spectacle? That was a WWE Royal Rumble match at one point :P
I seriously thought England was out lol. That first missed penalty broke Colombians' backs - Bacca's face was showing that he'll miss the last shot.
I've no clue what I'm doing...
I think they played dirty but have to give credit to Sanchez in defence, he was amazing. This game was the street fight education that England needed.
